poet who wrote "Thou Wilt Never
Grow DID, her parents, sister and
brothers may surely look toward her
home above the sky and say:
Thus wilt thou be when the pilgrim, grown
gray,
Weeps when the vines from the hearthstone
are riven;
Faith shall behold thee as pure as the day
Thou vast torn from the earth and trans
planted to heaven.

In that ..ingdom of light, with its cities of

Where the air thrills with angel hosannas

who, it is alleged by the plaintiff, circulated
the story that Mrs. Wineland had sent to his
house some milk containing paison with
the intent Of killing him and his family.
The story reached Mrs, Wineland, hence the
suit for SANDER.
The Journal, with characteristic
imp ertinence, accosted Mr.. Shipman
in order to ascertain how far, if at all
his mental and spiritual equanimity
had been ruffled by the Times intel
ligence
Mr., Shipmaa-O, this is not new. |

by Mrs. Wineland, and except as to
some minor matters of inquiry con.

i have not been and am not disturbed
in the slightest degree by the action
against me.
JouRNAL-Have you anything to say
touching the charge brought against
you as given in the Times
NJ. Shipman-Nothing more thar

proper time to dispose of this charge
with an explicit, complete vindication
of myself.
JOURNAL-Then you intend meeting
the issue in court?
Mr.. Shipman-I do. No matter
where amin Holliday&burg, or else
where-I shall face my accuser in the
Circuit Court of this county whenever
she is ready to go on with the trial.
Good cay, sir.
